Fenestrated blood capillaries and lymphatic capillaries in rat skeletal muscle

Cell and Tissue Research Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Capillary fenestrae occur in one of about 60 cross-sectioned blood capillaries in normal adult rat skeletal muscles. The fenestrae occur singly or in groups. Fenestrated capillaries are found close to muscle fibers as well as in the perimysial and perineurial connective tissue.

Small numbers of lymphatic capillaries are also present, mostly in the perimysial connective tissue.
